A Second Net Spiral Bag

However, since I have a hard time repeating the same pattern over and over unless I have a good reason, there are some differences.

First, the handles. They look different because of where the increases are placed.

Beginning about half way down the handle, the pink bag, made last week, has increases placed along the edges of the handle. This creates a triangular shaped as the handle nears the bag.

The blue bag has a straight handle. The increases are all added in the same row, just after the size of the mesh stick changes.

Another way the bags differ is in how the decreases that form the bottom of the bag are placed and the number of loops that are pulled together for the decreases.

The pink bag pulls the loops together in groups of three on one row. The grommet is formed in the next row. The blue bag decrease only 5 times on one row and then decreases directly below those decreases on two more rows. After those three decrease rows a grommet in the following row. This formed a five-sided shape on the bottom of the blue bag.

Both bags were filled with my favorite baby bibs and the net handles were tied into a bow.

Welcome

This blog is largely devoted to netting, though other crafts and items may make an appearance from time to time.

You don't know what netting is? Well, netting is an open fabric. That means there are holes in it. It is created by tying knots over plastic, wood, or metal gauges called mesh sticks. Netting can be as large and heavy as a fishing net or hammock or as light and airy as a delicate piece of lace.
